Proud to be Palestinian ♥️🇵🇸🕊

So grateful 🙏 to poet, novelist, and overall extraordinary human being Naomi Shihab Nye for her thoughtful statement about BEHIND YOU IS THE SEA!

The sky before the Orioles game last night. We were all told to leave the stands and seek shelter. We camped out in the stairwells for over an hour. It was wild to watch the lightning flash across the sky and listen to the rain. What a storm.
